"Calamity 666" on Sunday Aug 1 at 7 PM

Carlo Fiorletta's short movie "Nipple Nazis" - which I produced & edited - screens on Sunday Aug 1 at 7 PM on Manhattan Neighborhood Network as part of Damien Black's Short Film Show. If you don't get MNN on your cable, you can watch online at:

Best line of the movie:
I love cats 'cause they have sooo many nipples.

The Little Shubert Theater in Manhattan

I recently saw the play Viagara Falls at the Little Shubert Theater on 42nd St, between 9th & 10th Avenues.

The play was so/so, but I'd love to see Broadway theaters with women's restroom facilities half as good as these! At least 10 stalls, no waiting.

The pitch of the theater itself was terrific also - great views from every seat.

It drives me NUTS when expensive B'way theaters have 3 or 4 stalls in the women's room, and a COUCH! And maybe an easy chair or two....When's the last time you saw a woman lounge in the women's "lounge"?

Enough ranting for the moment, and hats off (if I wore any) to the Little Shubert Theater.

Indie Gathering Film Fest up next...

With my time (great!) at AOF Fest wrapped up, it's time to look ahead to the next festival for Foreclosed: The Indie Gathering in Westlake (just outside of Cleveland), Ohio. Ray Szuch puts up a great fest, and I'm looking forward to great audiences.

I'll have our great new dvd's by then, and hopefully shirts as well.

AOF Fest 2010


I'm wrapping up a great time at the Action on Film Festival (AOF) in Pasadena, CA. My short Foreclosed (www.foreclosedthemovie.us ) had a great screening in front of a thriller called Bad Grace. The fest programmers definitely did their job in that combo.

The theater was about 3/4 full, the movie screen was about 30 feet talk (very big Carlo Fiorletta as the killer!) and the q&a afterwards was terrific. What made me even happier was when several women came up to me later and told me that the movie really resonated with them - such a great feeling.

I've seen a bunch of other good movies while I've been here - the quality gets better every year. Notable selections have been Pizza With Bullets (Talia Shire & Vincent Pastore), White Wall (had a great talk with the filmmakers at the Sunday brunch seminar), Ironsides (a fact-inspired drama about bullying and child abuse, which was better than it sounds when I write it that way), and the short Dragonfly.

All in all a good few days, which leaves me looking forward to the Indie Gathering in a few weeks.
